LOOOOOOL, that is really a good joke!!! Laugh | :laugh:

Do you really expect us to write the software for your degree?

That is your homework, if you can't handle it, you will fail.

Don't try it, just do it! Wink | ;-)

You have to learn BITMAP before proceeding to Magic Wand Tool!.
Actually after Learning BITMAP headers/ColorPalette etc, you could handle each pixel of image, which is starting point for you magic wand tool. it's little tough!!

Your BACHELOR degree, and you're a BEGINNER ? That restores my faith in the future.

As has been said, if you can't do your own work, you don't deserve your degree.

OK - in that case, one has to ask why you've been asked to write a magic wand tool in C++.

As I understand it, the magic wand is useless by itself ( according to the explanation I've just been given ), it marks an area on which other filters are applied. If I was going to impliment a magic wand, I reckon I'd make a mask bitmap, make it all white, and make the area that is drawn on the main image a black area on the bitmap. Then whatever filters, etc. I applied, I'd iterate through the rectangle that the bounds of that drawn area was contained in, and check for black pixels before processing pixels on the main image.

good idea!but it is only suitable for monochrom image.I reckon I could make the selection according to the RBG value of each pixel.the problem is how to make the scroll boundary indicating the selection.

No, it's not. The MASK is 1 bit, the image doesn't have to be.

I'm not sure what you mean ? To draw the selected area ? You build a path object as you drag the mouse and then draw it.

Yeah, that's what I meant as well Smile | :)

The only way to know where the boundary is, is to store the mouse position, every time the mouse moves during selection. If you store those values into an array, there are methods you can call in order to turn those points into a line, which is exactly what you need.

Assuming you have successfully implemented the "magic wand" selection part (i.e. you know which pixels in the bitmap match your selection criteria and sensitivity) you could build a temporary 1 bit monochrome bitmap with all "selected" pixels of value 1 and all unselected pixels of value 0 then run an edge detection algorithm on it and trace the edge onto your original bitmap (or onto a transparent layer above it)

Assuming youre using MFC ... use the following code...

HBITMAP bmp = (HBITMAP)::LoadImage(::GetModuleHandle(0), _T("Coffee.bmp"), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);
CBitmap* pBitmap = CBitmap::FromHandle(bmp);
CPaintDC dc(this);
CDC memDc;
memDc.CreateCompatibleDC(&dc);
CBitmap* pMemBmp = memDc.SelectObject(pBitmap);
dc.BitBlt(0,0,200,200,&memDc,0,0,SRCCOPY); //put your image width,height for the 3rd and 4th param

memDc.SelectObject(pMemBmp);
::DeleteObject(bmp);
